Insurgent psychology – why they aren’t trying to win, but why they will!
BY Stephen John Morgan
For Arabs and Muslims their honour or the shaming of themselves and their brethren is something which cannot go unavenged. One must be prepared to die for it. It is linked to the culture of retribution, where a hurt or death brought upon another of one's family, tribe or clan must be avenged and this now extends to one's sect, nation, ethnicity and common religion. Psycho-culturally, the U.S. has entered an unwinable and endless war.
